RES: [postgis-users] Migration: From Oracle to PostgreSQL

[Alex Martins Daher]

Well, I think it will help a lot. Thank you, Zamil.

I'll give Ora2Pg a try, but what about pgAdmin Database Migration Wizard?
Have you ever used it?

Assunto: RE: [postgis-users] Migration: From Oracle to PostgreSQL


Hello Alex,

We have been using an open source utility called Ora2Pg. It is very well written and easy to use. I could not find a way to migrate the spatial column from Oracle to Postgres directly. For our company this was not a problem, since we stored the lat and long in seperate columns anyways. I pulled everything once, and then ran an update script to create my geometry column and populate it. We had to slightly modify the Ora2Pg code so that a user without sys privileges could export from the Oracle table, but that was the only change we made to the core package. 

I hope this helps,
Zamil

Subject: [postgis-users] Migration: From Oracle to PostgreSQL


Hi everyone!

Is there any tool so that I can migrate (spatial) data from an Oracle
database to PostgreSQL. Does pgadmin have any?

So, what is the easiest and less painful way to do this migration?

Regards,
Alex
